Directions:

For the Whole30 One Pan Chicken with Creamy Sauce:

• Cut the bone out of the chicken thighs with kitchen shears (or ask your butcher to do this for you).

• Pat the chicken dry and season with salt and pepper.

• Heat a cast iron on high heat, then add the avocado oil.

• Place chicken skin side down and sear for 8-10 minutes without touching until crisp and golden brown.

• Flip and cook 2-3 more minutes, then remove from the pan.

• Pour out all but 2 tbsps of the remaining grease and add in the shallots on medium heat. Saute for 2 minutes, then add the garlic and cook for 1 more minute.

• Add the stone ground and dijon mustard and stir until well combined.

• Pour in the wine or chicken stock and cook on high for 1 minute.

• Reduce the heat to low, add the Nutpods or creamer and stir.

• Add back in the chicken thighs and simmer 2-3 minutes until the sauce has slightly thickened.
